Global Business Register Ltd., the premier provider of European, official company information, and Jersey Financial Services Commission (“JFSC”) today announced the signing of a distribution agreement for the provision and sale of official company information provided by the European Business Register (“EBR”).

The Agreement was signed by Mr Julian Lamb, Deputy Registrar of the JFSC and Mr Ben Cronin, Chief Executive Officer of Global Business Register Ltd.

Commenting on the agreement Mr.Cronin said, “We are very excited about this opportunity to be the first company in Britain and Ireland to have direct, immediate Internet access, based on the most advanced technology platform available, to all the official company registers who are members of the EBR Network. Our relationship with the JFSC will now allow the immediate distribution of official company information from more than twenty one European countries which we see as critical to the on-going efforts of companies to ensure timely compliance with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer legislation”

Mr. Lamb said: “JFSC’s relationship with GBRDirect is significant as it is the first international organisation to whom the JFSC is supplying official company data via the EBR Network. GBRDirect provides one single entrance to information on more than 22 million companies. We feel this is another important step in ensuring safer business in Europe by reducing the risk to the public of financial loss due to financial dishonesty and the misuse of corporate vehicles.”
